Do you know any numbers how many refugees are taken in by middle eastern countries?

These countries have Syrian residents, but they have taken none considered to be refugees.
Quote:According to the to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are about 500,000 Syrians living in Saudi Arabia, but they are not classified as asylum seekers and it is not known when they arrived in the country.
Other reports indicate that Saudi Arabia has not taken in any new refugees, along with Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Why is this a problem for 'western' countries to sort out when middle eastern countries in this very region sit idle?
